[...] The big news out of this one was that Tom Cox, a North Little Rock businessman and one of the movement organizers in Arkansas, announced he will be running for Senate as a Republican to challenge Sen. Blanche Lincoln. The Tolbert Report has a video clip, but it's only 30 seconds long and it's so far from the stage that I'm assuming Tolbert shot it from his back porch in Saline County, so be forewarned. (Here's a CNN report on Cox's announcement.) [...]

[...] Tea Party organizer launches Senate bid. There'll be more of these, and most of 'em will lose. But they'll have an impact [...]

All this group wants is a tax cut for the rich. As long as the money is benefiting them its ok. Always complaning about government spending too much money but the republicans dont complain about how the government is taking care of them by paying for their healthcare and etc. What would happen if the government didnt provide AFDC, foodstamps unemployement, financial aide and other things that low income families need what would it be like?

Oh Lord ::rolls eyes::

You cant please everyone...he assumes he is far more business savvy than the other guy...but what he may consider smart policy others will consider stupid...welcome to politics TP Cox.

This is exactly the type of person that we do not need in the senate! There are already enough people in the senate who only say no and do not have any new ideas to solve the serious problems that our nation is facing. It's all nice to say that our elected officials (that's right our ELECTED officials) shouldn't be doing this or that but there is not an alternative solution given.

Over 90% of your taxdollars go to Medicare, Social Security, national defense, and interest on the national debt. (which has doubled under Reagan and Bush Jr. each!) These are items nobody touches. People argue over less than 10% of the budget! And these Tea Partiers were nowhere when the republicans were running up record deficits! Hypocrites!

The Tea Party was nothing but partisan hypocrisy! Where were these people when Bush Jr. doubled the national debt and hence the tax burden on future generations? Oh, right, they were asking for tax cuts for themselves, hence burdening future generations with debt! They want tax cuts AND not have to pay back the loan! Sorry, math doesn't work that way!

The free-lunch bunch wants government services, they just don't want to pay for them. They don't like potholes in their streets, but they don't want to pay to have them repaired. They want good public schools for their kids but they vote against school bond issues. They want a strong army to defend them from terrorists but they don't want to increase the salaries of soldiers – and they don't want to join the army themselves either.

Another joker trying to benefit from a gimmick. Hope the people in Arkansas can see through the smoke and lies.

I certainly hope there isn't a movement for highly unqualified candidates to run the federal government. Palin is bad enough. People like Cox can only do great harm and damage in the name of a tea bag.

Out with Obama and the Democrats, and all those who apologize for America. In with fiscal responsibility and pride in America.

This is SO EXCITING!!!!! Snore...

For the first time, I'm getting out my wallet to help build the war chest up for those who take a stand for upholding the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Freedoms and Liberty of America. I'm sure there will be millions more who join me for the first time and we will see a political uprising against big government and tyranny. It is about time we return the power to folks who are serving the people not themselves their office.
